    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I still stand to oppose the Motion. I have all the rights to say why I oppose it including the reason for agonising principals and teachers who are transferred because they have been ranked poorly. I think my friend is the one who is not relevant in this particular case. Two years ago, we lost a principal of a very senior school in this country. Since I am on the Floor of the House, I have the privilege to say what I want, the former Principal of Mang’u High School who was a Njuri-Ncheke elder. The moment Mang’u High School dropped in ranking, the principal got high blood pressure and he never recovered. I want to believe that if we did not have ranking, that man would most likely still be alive. Just to conclude because I can see the light is on, cheating in exams is a vice that is sometimes brought about by the pressure on students and teachers who want to perform well, so that they do not face the wrath of the community. They want to meet the expectations of the society. Lastly, there is the issue of forced repetition of classes. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
